Lee Byeong-heon: "But do you have your own computer game?"

(Posted In Asia Random Geek Talk Sci-Fi / Fantasy )

Lost-Planet.jpgA testament to his growing popularity outside of South Korea, Lee Byeong-heon [A Bittersweet Life and JSA] was present at the Xbox360 Lounge in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan on Saturday to promote Lost Planet, a computer game from Capcom that used the actor as its model. Few details about the game were released. After being saved by Snow Pirates, Lee Byeong-heon's character seeks revenge against his father's betrayers using what little memory he has left. He also discovers hidden truths about the lost planet.

"It is a global achievement for me to debut as a model for a Japanese computer game. I'm very pleased because I myself love to play online games." He also said good things about the game itself, calling it "a game based on an excellent script, just like a movie."

Excellent. Finally some Asian male heroes in video games. I'm getting tired of the overused typical White male heroes being depicted in the Final Fantasy games and all types of games in general.
